Dear MLB,
As you know, April 15th 2022 will be the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s debut in MLB.
You also likely know that Citi Field is modeled after Ebbets Field where Jackie played. You may also know about the Jackie Robinson Rotunda in the building.
Furthermore, you may know that the Dodgers played in New York City at the time.
Therefore, I propose to you that you schedule the Dodgers AT the Mets on that date.
Furthermore, I propose that we bend the rules and allow the Dodgers to wear white “home” uniforms with the B cap, and the Mets to wear “road” Giants uniforms….which will say N E W Y O R K and have the same NY on the cap they have now, so it won’t be awkward. The Mets have previously worn New York Giants uniforms at home, so there is precedent.
I recall for the first Jackie Day that you had the Dodgers playin Queens, but they did not do the throwbacks. I think this would be a nice extra step.
Thank you for your consideration.
